Oprah allegedly refused to give her stepmother a dime of her vast fortune.

In an exclusive interview with MailOnline an emotional Barbara said: ‘That woman has set out to ruin me, destroy me.â€¨ To take this house away is petty, this has been my home for 14 years.â€¨

‘Oprah’s a billionaire three times over, her help live better than this. She said publicly that she offered to sell the house and give me the proceeds, but that’s a lie, she never said that.â€¨..‘Oprah owns property all over the world so there is no reason to sell this house other than to spite me, it’s a personal vendetta.’â€¨

Is it true? We can’t say at this point. There’s no doubt that someone like Oprah is an attractive target for people who think they’re owed a paycheck just because they’re somehow related to her. But since Oprah has gotten more and more self-righteous–and liberal–over the years, I wouldn’t be shocked. This behavior is typical of grossly self-absorbed celebrities.
